Crawlspace Solutions
Humidity levels in your crawlspace can affect the rest of your home. Having unconditioned air below your living spaces makes the whole house harder to heat and cool, and also provides the perfect damp setting for mold spores to breed. In the past, we were told that crawlspaces needed to be ventilated. Now, however, we are learning that crawlspaces need to be treated almost as if they were living spaces. In other words, areas that are in contact with your living space affect your living space. So if you have a crawlspace, what solution is available?
HealthyAir can help you dry out even the dampest crawlspaces and turn them into drier, healthier foundations for your home that aren't breeding grounds for mold spores. The solutions are simple, affordable, and very effective.
Crawlspace Solutions: Turning Crawlspaces into Dry Spaces
Our Dry Space technique combines the following:
- A thorough cleaning of the space, including mold remediation
- Installation of a wall-to-wall, durable, 14 mil vapor barrier
- Attachment of the vapor barrier into ground and six inches up side walls
- Application of closed-cell spray foam insulation overlapping the edge of the vapor barrier and continuing up the wall to floor joists.
- Installation of a HealthyAir DVA system to completely dry out the space and prevent future mold growth.
The result is an energy efficient, healthy home. HealthyAir's Dry Space methods described above not only help mold-proof your home, but the combination of these methods will make it more energy efficient and comfortable. Closed cell spray foam insulation seals the space to prevent drafts and unlike open-cell foam insulation it will not trap or absorb water, making it the perfect candidate for a healthy mold-free home.
